Wake On Lan; Power Management - IBM 8364 E series User Manual

For more information about application management, refer to the information
that shipped with the server software.

Wake on LAN

The Wake on LAN feature of the Network Station allows remote server access
of the client during power-managed states. Wake on LAN is useful for
administrating Network Stations during non-peak hours of operation.
Remote access from a LAN server allows a Network Station to perform
system management routines, transfer files, track inventory, assets, and
perform other tasks.
Servers with Wake on LAN technology can send wake-up frames over the
network to a Wake on LAN-enabled Network Station. The Network Station
will wake from its low power states when it receives one of these frames.
You can enable or disable the Network Station's Wake on LAN feature by
entering the setup utility. For more information, refer to the BIOS screen
summary for "Power management" on page 62.

Power management

The Network Station has many built in features that lower the total cost of
ownership. One of these features is the system's ability to automatically enter
power-managed states. The administrator can manage the system at the server
when the system is in these states. This allows for total management of the
system when the system is not in use, and is in a low power state. See
"System-low-power states" on page 35, and "Monitor low-power states" on
page 35 for detailed information on the Network Station's power managed
states.
Power management is a feature of the Network Station basic input and output
system (BIOS). When the Network Station recognizes a period of inactivity,
this power management feature reduces the system's power consumption (see
"Power consumption" on page 7 for details). The Network Station's local area
network (LAN) connection remains active regardless of the power
management state it is in.
The power management mode supported by the Network Station is the
Automatic Hardware Power Managed (AHPM) mode. Features of the AHPM
mode include the black-out of the screen while the system is not in use.
